Hi all,
I recently saw a video in which the manufacturing process of LP's was shown. One of the employees told that LP's sound warmer because the higher tones are being removed (or rather turned down a bit) prior to the pressing.
"Imagine a car taking smooth, long curves, nothing happens. But if the car makes short sharp turns at the same speed, it'll likely crash. You can compare this to the needle on a LP. If the grooves make the needle go back and forth too fast, the needle may fly out of the groove." This is wat the employee said (translated from Dutch).
I didn't quite get it as LP's still have higher frequency cutoffs than CD's, so to me it sounds weird that the warmer LP sound comes from the turned down high tones.
Does anyone know more about this?
